2.0 out of 5 stars
Art and Passion...but no Science, February 10, 2008
A series of short vignettes about fencing, none detailed enough to impart and real knowledge. A definite lack of technical instruction on fencing. Not sure who this video would be useful for...certainly not a beginner trying to learn about the technical aspects of the sport.

1.0 out of 5 stars
is that fencer attacking with a bent arm?, March 3, 2008
This review is from: FENCING. The Art, Science and the Passion (Amazon Instant Video)
and what is with the foot?
Usually a preview should (as far as I know) show a good example that will motivate people to watch moreof it and this just isn't it...
I haven't viewed the video or part you can download as yet but if this picture is an example of what it contains I am not too inclined to view more of it...
what are these two fencers doing?
is the one on the right attacking with a foot in the air,next arm and point way off target or are they retreating ?and if so what the .. are they doing? Balance?!?
and the fencer on the left - are they attacking? bent arm? what is with the front foot?
ok so maybe need to download it and view it but I have enough faults in my technique without viewing this....
sorry was just looking up fencing on amazon and found this video download...sigh
and if you are wondering I have over 20 years of fencing - all three weapons and I like to think (some... may disagree...lol) that I am an ok fencer...
